The first episode in the series is set to air in November and will look at the assassination, the findings of the Warren Commission and the aftermath and effect JFK's death had on the nation.

The rest of the series won't air until April 2014, however.

The documentary will feature interviews with historians David McCullough, Robert Dallek and Robert Caro, as well as people who experienced many of the historic events of the decade firsthand, including Dan Rather and Robert MacNeil.
